Pregnancy style 101: Reese Witherspoon nails the red carpet in Monique Lhuillier

Posted on April 30, 2012 by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

She may not get any points for fashion innovation but Reese Witherspoon ticked all the pregnancy style boxes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Surrounded by Hollywood beauties, Reese (and her bump) held their own on the red carpet and she was arguably best dressed of the night. The actress, 36, who is expecting her third child, was positively glowing in Monique Lhuillier and emerald earrings by  Irene Neuwirth  (a very Angelina look). But it seems no one was having as … →

Yes, of COURSE we need a glittery Jimmy Choo iPad case

Posted on April 29, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Until we saw this absolutely essential totally frivolous Jimmy Choo iPad case we had never before looked at our iPads and thought… you are so… naked. Now though, we can hardly bear looking at the thing without judging it for being drastically underdressed. A sin. It’s £260 from net-a-porter.com – and only the fear of overheating our credit cards is standing between us and the Tyler. Must. Stay. Firm.   AND WHILE WE’RE AT IT.. Meet the £4,000 Fendi iPad case

Kristen Stewart covers Elle, transitions from ‘awkward teen to fashion queen’

Posted on April 29, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Could Kristen Stewart’s couture transformation finally be complete?  The 22-year-old star, who up until last year posed awkwardly at red carpet events in  designer dresses paired with scruffy trainers, may just have blossomed into fully fledged fashionista. This week named Glamour magazine’s best-dressed woman of the  year (they said she’d transformed from awkward teen to fashion queen), she is starting to look at home in couture, and her feet are only to be seen firmly encased in Louboutins when in … →

Long live McQueen! Getting in the Jubilee spirit with Alexander McQueen’s Union flag clutch

Posted on April 24, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Tear down the plastic bunting, hang up the novelty hats. We’ve found the only Jubilee accessory worth investing in this season – and it comes courtesy of another (Mc)Queen. The studded Union flag clutch is a Royalist’s fantasty, and comes in ostentatious full red, white and blue, or oh-so-subtle silver. We’d usually go for the stylish subtlety of the silver – but given that it’s Lizzie’s big day, let’s rock the red, white and blue for our Queenie. Both are available … →

Life’s cruel ironies #482: Yes, losing weight DOES make you fat

Posted on April 24, 2012 by D in Beautyfreude, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

It’s what we expected to be the case all along but hoped not to be true. Scientists have now found cold hard proof that dieting makes you fat. Brain scans revealed that dieting and cutting calories decreases the hormones in the body that suppress appetite – the peptide YY, if you must know, and increase the level of hormones that make you hungry – the evil gremlin known as ghrelin, which is the hormone responsible for making us scoff whole … →

Alessandra Ambrosio models for jewellery campaign, says being eight months pregnant makes her feel more confident

Posted on April 23, 2012 by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

While most women hibernate during the last month of pregnancy, Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her tiny bump with pride. The Victoria’s Secret model stripped off for Brazilian jewellery brand Vivara shot by Mert & Marcus and looks like we do after a big meal. Alessandra said: ‘A nude photoshoot was good, because pregnancy makes me much more confident. ‘I’m proud of my body to be generating a life.’ And what a life it will be. Via Facebook

Children born with a silver spoon in their mouth should dine at Claridge’s, says Rachel Zoe

Posted on April 22, 2012 by D in Fashionfreude, Foodfreude | Leave a comment

Rachel Zoe is in London for Vogue Fest, and is staying at Claridge’s, natch. She’s got her little one-year-old boy Skyler in tow (as always) – and Tweeted a pic of the cutlery Claridge’s gave him to use – ultra-cute, mini silverware stamped with little bears. We weren’t sure it was possible to love Claridge’s any more (they had a LANVIN Christmas tree, for goodness sake) – but oops, now we do. This is the child that has a £70k … →

Shock news: We Want Kim Kardashian’s dress (well, it is an insane, silver Catherine Malandrino)

Posted on April 21, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | 1 Comment

We’re not ones to idolise the Kardashians, but we’ll always give a girl kudos for rocking a hot frock. This week, that honour goes to Kim, who wore a silver Catherine Malandrino dress to US Weekly’s Hot Hollywood party a couple of nights ago. The shape, the fabric, the impact. Love it. It’s a rare score for Kim among the Fashionfreude team.   In fact, we dug up a pic of her wearing a silver dress at a previous party … →

Rachel Zoe is in Vogue at fashion bible’s festival in top-to-toe Rachel Zoe Collection

Posted on April 21, 2012 by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

She is a stylist, so of course we expect Rachel Zoe to rock the best outfits herself (if she didn’t who would hire her?). Sometimes, in our opinion, she gets it wrong (not into those creased, baggy boilersuits she is fond of). But last night at the Vogue Festival cocktail party at the Royal Geographical Society, she rocked it. Tuxedo detailing, cummerbund, split black skirt dazzling with jet jewels… Her power platforms and white yeti put us in the mind … →

Ff’s Friday frivolity: Miu Miu’s glitter sandals (channel your inner stripper)

Posted on April 20, 2012 by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Miu Miu’s pink and silver sandals have caught our eye. Totally impractical. Bordering on stripper shoes. Glitter that wouldn’t look out of place on a five-year-old.  Who borrowed her mother’s shoes. Her mother who’s a stripper. Yup, we love them.
